ON approach of the COMMENCEMENT of JAN ARY, all those who may have to write to us before that time, are requested to do so without delay, and to be particular in directing, HEINE BROTHERS, in HANIBURGH, and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles th , '. Postage only, but several inclosures would by far increase the tame. Thus 101., 201., or 301., for instance, if remitted in o''.e Bank of Eng lan Note would only cause double Postage, 'out 10/. remitted in two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there fore most advisable, for any Person havYag to remit Money to Ham burgh, to forward the amount in One Note ; or having to receive Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England, surpassing the usual amoinit of One Bank of England Note, may rather he made in Bills of Exchange, on London. We request not to overlook these prffticulars. - HEINE BROTHERS in HAMBURGII. P. S. To persons having to remit Si., on receiving a Ten Pound Note, we return Two Pound in the cheapest way possible.

The CITIZEN-KING happily escaped, on Tuesday last, another terrible attempt to assassinate him. While his MAJESTY was proceeding to the Chambers,to assure France that " the impotence of so many guilty efforts against his life, had begun at length to weary the pas sions, and to discourage the audacity" of regicidal conspirators, the breaking of his carriage windows by a pistol ball, awakened him from the drew - e t o f fancied security into which Mbiistcrs he e d lulled him ; and, in an instant, converted, the happy presages of his flatterers into omens r e f direful import. For the particulars of this affair, we direct our readers to the report of it, which is given in another part of The Sun—contenting ourselves here with making a few observations upon it. The assassin is said to be a young man about twenty years of age, but his name has not yet been discovered. The Jour nal de Paris finds consolation in the discovery that he is poor, ill-clad, has the itch, and was armed with a very; bad pistol. The latter circumstance, in our opinion, is alone consolatory. Had the KING fallen it would have mattered very little by whose hand the pistol was levelled. It is enough to establish danger to the Royal family, that the man is not proved to be mad, and that he made the attempt under the plea of ridding Fiance of a tyrant—not to revenge any real or supposed p':irsonal injury done to himself. In the frequer, cy of these murderous attempts upon the life of the King of the FRE NC uove see great cause for se. rious alar m . They evidently are the result of a deep rooted 'hatred, on the part of the people, of the destroyer of the liberties of France. Monstrous we pronounce them ; but neither our expressions of deep abhorrence, nor those of our Contemporaries in eve:y part of Eu rope, have tended to diminish the dreadful determina tion of the fanatics who make them. While a single arm may prostrate the Sovereign of the FRENCII to the dust—when the guillotine has lost its terrors_ it is ridiculous to Threaten the guilty with fresh punishments, of to double the guards about the KING'S pesoo. There is but one way of saving the KiNci's life. We have said so before more than an *hundred times, and we fear that we shall be allowed to repeat it with no better effect. The KING can only be saved by restoring the Constitutional Charter to his people—by re-granting them those pri vileges which he voluntarily swore to maintain—and particularly by abolishing the laws for restricting the freedom of the Press. Unless his MAJESTY do these things, be will not long remain at the head the French monarchy. Nor would his untimely death benefit his successor. What he risks his life rather than grant, must be granted the instant he falls. What madness then is it to compel desperate but devoted men to stain the character of France with a crime which can be so easily and so righteously avoided' The KING'S repression of liberty—':is disregard of his solemn oaths—his contempt for the will of the . people-, nerve the arms, strengthen the hands, and steel the hearts of the assassins who seek his life. From the correspondence of several eye-witnesses we learn, that on his way, to and from, the Chamber on Tuesday, the King of the FRENCH was suffered to pass without the slightest, demonstration of pleasure cr respect by the people. The men all remained covered, and as mute as if they had suddenly been struck dumb. His MAJESTY'S reception by the Peers and Deputies was, however, as cordial as could be manifested by such grave personages. The following is a copy of the Royal Speech : • SPEECH FROM THE THRONE. 4 GENTLEMEN OF THE CHAMEER OF PEERS AND OF TILE ISER OF DEPUTIES, " France reaps the fruit of her courage and her wisdom. 'ler institutions are becoming strengtbened, her prosperity is increasing, and, in assembling you this day, I hive but to congratulate myself and you on the success of our efforts for • the happiness of our country. " I receive from all Foreign Powers the most pacific as- sorms.ces. The peace of the world appears for I,, ng secure from every attack. Our diplomatic relatc.nA with the United States of America have beca r;:somcd. The treaty of the 4th of JulY, 1-531., is in exevatoti, and I have reason to expect that nothi:ag will further trouble the excellent harmony which has so )01;- and so happily subsisted between the two nations. " A momentary diiference had arisen between France and Switzerland. Satisfactory explanations have been given to us, and that intimate friendship by-which the two countries have been united for so many centuries is at this moment re established. " The Peninsula is still disturbed by fatal dissensions. Serious events have shaken the institutions of Madrid and Lisbon, and Spain has been incessantly desolated by civil war. Still closely united with the King of Great Britain, I continue to cause the treaty of the quadruple alliance to be executed with religious fidelity, and in conformity to the spirit in which it has been dictated. " I entertain the most sincere dthe for the consolidation of the throne of Isabella 11., and I trust that the Constitu tional Monarchy will triumph over the perils with which it is threatened. But I applaud myself for having preserved France from the sacrifices, the extent of which cannot be appreciated, and from the incalculable consequences of any armed intervention in the internal affairs of the Peninsula. France reserves the blood of her children for her own cause, and when she is reduced to the painful necessity of summon ing them to shed that blood in her defence, it is only under our own glorious colours.that the soldiers of France march to battle. "We have experienced painful losses in Africa. They have deeply afflicted my heart. Aly second son has shared the sufferings and dangers of our brave soldiers, as his bro ther had done before him. If success has not attended the efforts of our soldiers, at least their valour, their perseve rance, and their admirable resignation, have worthily sus ta;.ned the honour of our banner. You will feel disposed, with me, to insure to our arms in Africa the preponderance which ought to belong to them, and to our possessions com plete security. "An attempt has threatened my life. Providence has averted the blow directed against me. The testimonies of affection with which France has surrounded me are the most precious reward for my labours and my devotion. " An attempt at insurrection, equally senseless and cri minal, for a few moments astonished a great city, whose repose, however, was not disturbed by the event. It has sprved only to display the fidelity of our brave army, and rthe good spirit of the population.—(Renewed acclamation.) " The impotence of so many guilty efforts begins at length to weary the passions, and to discourage their audacity. Time has already calmed many animosities, and daily softens the duties which cireumstanceshave imposed on my Government. " I have been enabled to follow the desire of my heart in pardoning men struck by the arm of the law. I have been occupied only with those who have acknowledged their empire. It is thus I have thought myself at liberty to exer cise the most precious right conferred on me by the charter, without weakening any of the guarantees of order, or any of the principles of our legislation. " Independently of the laws which have been already pre sented to you, and which will again be submitted to your deliberations, you will have to occupy yourselves with several bills, some of which concerns my family, the others being intended to bring our legislation to perfection. " Our finances arc in the most satisfactory state. The public revenue will exceed the ordinary expenses of the State. Measures conformable to the wish manifested during the last session will be proposed to you as soon as the return of the abundance of capital will permit my Government to do so. " The commercial embarrassments which have been felt in other countries have exercised but a feeble influence on our internal prosperity. We have to deplore, in some lo calities, sufferings which we are endeavouring to assuage. I have reason to hope that they will be but momentary, and that an increase of wealth will everywhere insure the wel fare of the population. " To arrive more expeditiously at this happy result, and to endow France with the advantages promised to her by the progress of the sciences and of the national prosperity, I have given orders that an important mass of public works to be undertaken shall be submitted for your deliberation. Al ready the sums which you have voted for the improprove ment of the roads in the west have changed the aspect of that country, and destroyed the germ of civil discord. In the 'zourse of this session the roads remaining to be formed, t'ne navigation of the rivers, the establishment of canals, ports, and railroads, will be the objects of important propo sitions, as well as those monuments and public institutions which attest and still further augment the greatness of France. " Let us continue, Gentlemen, in the same course : it is thus that we shall succeed in founding upon a solid basis the happiness of our country. Sustained by your loyal support, I have been enabled to preserve France from new revo lutions, and to save our institutions, confided to me as a sa cred deposit. Let us give increased union to our efforts, and we shall from day to day witness the extent and the consolidation of order, confidence, and prosperity—we shall obtain all the benefits which a free country, dwelling in peace, has a right to expect under the aegis of a national Go vernment." There is nothing very tangible in this document, save what ',nay be inferred from the paragraphs respect ing t2de war in Spain, and the late unfortunate expedi ',ion against Constantine. The conclusion of the fiat is tantamount to a declaration that Spain is welcome to make the most she can of his MAJESTY'S expressions of kindness—the full extent of what she may expect in the shape of aid from France ; while the second is equally explicit respecting his MAJESTY'S determina tion to humble the pride of the Arabs. France is so careful of the blood of her citizens, that, in the lan guage of the KING, she cannot shed it in a cause so foreign to her as that of establishing liberty in Spain, and delivering the Peninsula from the sanguinary horrors of an unnatural civil war ; and yet the same tender SOVEREIGN invites her to pour it out in tor rents in the arid wastes of Africa I The news from the North of Spain is not impor tant. Bilboa still holds out, despite the united efforts of the Carlists ; and the cowardice, treachery, and in capacity of General ESPARTERO. The following telegraphic despatches, which we copy from the Mom teur, contain the latest intelligence received in Paris up to twelve o'clock on Tuesday : " Bayonne, Dec. 22, Two o'Clock. (Received by telegraph at Tours, and thence transmitted to Paris by courier.) " Gomez arrived at Durango on the 17th, having left his division, from 4,000 to 5,000 strong, at Orduna ; and Cabrera with another force on the right bank of the Ebro." " Espartero repassed the Nervion on the 18th, where he was followed by Villareal. They now occupy, on the right bank of the river, the same positions which tkey did from the Ist to the Bth." " Bayonne, Dec. 22, Eight o'Clock, P.M " The first part of the basis of the Constitution—which establishes tile Two Chambers—was voted at Madrid on the 17th." " Bayonne, Dec. 23, Eight o'Clock, " The Commissary of Marine to the Minister of Marine. " M. Ray has written to me, under date of the 22d, that on the 19th and 20th Espartero, with 22 pieces of cannon, passed, by a bridge of boats, to the right bank of the river. He has, besides, thrown over a bridge, in case of a re treat. A decisive engagement, it is said, will take place on the 24th. " Bilboa still firmly holds out." Letters from Durango announce the arrival of Go- AtEz at the head quarters of DON CARLOS, after leaving the great bulk of his troops at Orduna on the Ebro. The treachery of ALA ix enabled him to escape without difficulty. Letters and Papers from Madrid to the 20th ult. have been received. The Cortes were proceeding with the reform of the Constitution, and had agreed to the establishment of a second Legislative Chamber. Generals INBEIno and NARVAEZ were both in the capital on the 19th. The accounts received from tl►e provinces were generally unfavourable. The army is in a frightful state of insubordination ; and money is wanted in all quarters.. The details will be found in the correspondende from Madrid, which we copy from the columns of a Tory Morning Con temporary. The anti-Church-rate agitation proceeds bravely. Hardly a clay passes without bringing with it some testimony of public indignation against the most exe- erable of all taxes—that which eo►ttpels tie to via, late the sacred dictates of conscience. The public feeling is now thoroughly roused on this question ; the public mind has become alive to the enormity of a system which, in fact ] reexignities rio diflerence between modes of faith, hut which, according to the avowed principles of its advocates, would force the Christian to support Mahometanism, :tt m e t arty, .other . not excepting cven w 0.6 ) 4 3::e' T .!, it Tr the :';Viii of every human being to God in the way that seems to him the best, it is no less his right to he exempted from the involuntary support of those modes of worship which seem best to others. The Horatian rule is here strictly appli cable—Hans verdant pctimusque damnsque vicissi»t. The great meeting of the rate-payers of Manchester —which we announced a little while ago—took place on Monday last. It was numerous and respectable, and its proceedings, the report of which we regret the crowded state of our columns obliges us to postpone till to-morrow, full of interest. Some truly excellent speeches were delivered, and a series of resolutions strongly condemnatory of the conscience-violating tax passed. One of the speakers, Mr. J. B. SMITH introduced the following happy illustration of the in justice of the Church-tax, which seems to have oc casioned no small merriment ;—" In a certain parish a Quaker barber received one day a note for Church rate for the year 1835-ss. 6d. He called upon the Clergyman of the parish with this note, and said, Pray, friend, what dost thou mean by this note ?' Mean ; why it is for the Church-rate ; don't you see.' ' Yea, friend ; but what is that for?' Why, for the repair of the Church, and for the de cent maintenance of public worship, to be sure.' Well, friend, but what have I to do with that. I don't attend thy Church.' Oh, that don't signify ; the church is always open, and it is your own fault if you don't come. Besides, its the law, and you must pay.'—' Well, friend, I take leave to tell thee that I think that a very unjust law that obliges me to pay for a ministry and a religion which I don't attend. Fare thee well.'--A few days afterwards the barber, by way of straightening accounts with the par son, sent his reverence a note. Dr. to Timothy Broadbrim for shaving and haircutting for the year 1835, ss. The receipt of this note by the parson very quickly brought him to the shop, in no good humour either. ' You scoundrel, what do you mean by sending this note ? You never cut my hair or shaved me in your life." Nay, friend, but thou knowest my shop was always open ; and it's thine own fault if thou didst not come to be shaved. —(Shouts of laughter.) We are blind to the injustice which we practise on others, but how quickly we perceive it when it is at tempted to be practised on ourselves. TINIOTUY BROADBRINT here. completely caught the Parson in his own trap. • An Anti-Church-rate Association was also formed at Manchester to co-operate with the Metropolitan Association. This is the true way to agitate, and cannot fall to succeed. I )1!i THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, _1836. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.

The Antwerp Papers of the 25th inst. give the Dutch prices of the 23d—Five per Cents., 100 ; Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 53 7-16.

THREE O' CL 0C K, THE SNOW-STORM.--The present snow-storm, in addition of the other annoyances it has entailed on us, has had the effect of reversing the usual rules of politeness, for the inquiries everywhere just now are 'not after the ladies, but after the males (mails). The feelings of the audience at Coven;-garden were most painfully excited on Wedresday evening, during the performance on the tight rope. The rope became in some way twisted, and the poor gill wai afraid to venture on tle descent. On her objections being overruled from the stage, she proceeded on her trip, and arrived in safety. itAMSGATE-TtiESDA - Y.

Ido not desire to lay blame on any in dividual in particular ; as far as the post-mistress is con cerned, I believe her anxious to perform her duties effec tually ; but the fact is that the mail contractor, who I undeistand resides at Canterbury, forwards the mail here and receives it hack in a light cart. Both cart and horse arc perfectly useless at present from the state of the roads, and the post-mistress has no discretionary power to send two men on foot with the mails. It appears, therefore, desirable that in agreements with mail contractors extra exertions should be required on occasions like the present, as it must be evident that if persons can walk for their amusement, or ordinary avocations, the Post-office communications can be kept open in the same manner, and it must never be lost sight of; that the leading feature and aim of all Post-office establishments is the carrying on an uninterrupted intercourse netween the different parts of an empire, and that making it a sub ject of revenue is but a secondary consideration: THE STORM.-MAILS-(THIS DAY.

The Opera Buffa re-opened last night, and if we may judge from the reception of Scaranzuccia last night, the season is likely to be most successful. The house was crowded with a fashionable audience. This flattering aus pice we attribute to the combined effect of a judicious reduction of prices, the strength of the company, and the merits of Ricci, the composer. It will be seen by the fol lowing list, that the cast of characters was excellent :-- Scaramuccia Lelio Domenico Tomaso St. Valliero Sig. A. Giubelei Count of Pontigny Miss F. Wyndham Sandrina Elena Miss A. Glossop The following is an outline of the plot :—The scene opens in the theatre in the Burgundy Palace, in Paris, where Scaramuccia, a poet, is director of an Italian company. A portion of the audience is supposed to be in the saloon, lounging between the acts of the evening's entertainment ; a disturbance is suddenly heard to take place in the interior, and Tomaso, followed by the guards, and ladies and gentle men from the lobbies, enter k confusion. It appears from his statement that he is a peasant, who had left his native coun try, Italy, to seek for the (laughter of his employer, who had been induced to leave her home with an unknown cavalier. He arrives in Paris, and goes to the theatre, where he re ' cognises in Scaramuccia the friend of the bereaved parent. Tomas() endeavours to make himself known to the come dian, and is of course laughed at, turned out, and conveyed to the guard-house. Scaramuccia obtains his release, learns from him the object of his visit to Paris, and promises to aid him in his endeavour to find out Elena. Tomaso re cognises in Sandrina, the pupil of Scaramuccia, the girl to whom he was attached, but who is now assailed by Lelio, a performer, and the Count of Pontigny. The latter is the libertine who has carried off Elena, and, in an interview with Scaramuccia, assigns him the task of removin g her sadness. The manager determines to get up a play, in which her story should be told, and also apprizes the uncle of the Count, the Viscount of St. Valliero, of the proceedings of the nephew. The drama is enacted, and Elena, recognising Tomaso, who plays one of the parts, rushes into his arms, and claims his protection, to restore her to her father. The Count is, however, eventually compelled to render her justice, through the agency of Sandrina, who holds his promise of marriage to her. Rather than wed the latter he con sents to marry Elena, and Sandrina is resolved to try her fortune on the stage, and the piece terminates, leaving Tomaso and Lelio her rejected admirers. There is no overture, but an introduction, somewhat sombre, which leads to the opening chorus, which is full of life. A spirited scena of Tomaso follows, in which the accompa ments are replete with desctiptive power. The succeeding trio, between Scaramuccia, Lelio, and Domenico, is very in geniously treated. It describes the miseries and uncer tainties of a theatrical life. Then comes a scena of San drina, which was exceedingly well sun , by Blasis. A charm ing trio, " Siamo ancora," between Lelio, Tomaso, and San drina, is the next remarkable piece. The first movement was enthusiastically encored, and, independently of the elegance of the motif, it is most beautifully instrumented. The music assigned to the Count is written for a contralto, and introduced a debutante, Miss Fanny Wyndham. This your , lady is a pupil of the Royal A cadem y . She la boured under great apprehension ; but, notwithstand ing her diffidence, the opening cavatina, " Mi fa Lelio it brutto muso," was demanded a second time with all but universal approbation. She was also encored in " Come it di," in the second act, which she gave with much felicity of expression. She possesses an exceedingly rich, sweet, melifluous voice, and when she is able to dismiss the ner • vous timidity natural to, and even graceful in, a debutante, we have no doubt that the public will recognize in our fair countrywoman power and talent by no means inferior to that of some of the best Italian singers. Her nervousness afforded Blasis an opportunity of exhibiting a generous feeling, for on the first time of singing there was a little in accuracy in the time, but the audience insisted on its repe tition, and Blasis went herself to fetch the fair English vo calist. The prima donna was afterwards much cheered for this act of kindness. The trepidation of the fair debutante operated so strongly, that we cannot yet pronounce any opinion upon her acting ; but she has, at all events, some physical requisites, being tall and of a good figure. Blas i s and Bend were encored in the duet, "Se vuoi for la banderuola ;" Blasis played the aspiring actress with spirit and vivacity, and was happy in the execution of the music. I3ellini enacted Tomaso at a short notice, owing to the in disposition of Torsi. His burlesque of tragedy created infinite mirth. The audience testified their satisfaction at the manner in which the opera was got up by frequent applause ; and at the fall of the curtain, the leading per formers were called for. Amongst the company were the Duke of Brunswick, Prince Esterhazy, Lady Sykes, Lady Beauchamp, Countess of Blessington, Lady Dudley Stuart, Lord Burghersh, Count D'Orsay, Colonel Stanhope, &c. Yesterday morning, about half-past ten o'clock, Mr. Thomas Wassen, a clerk in the Bank of England, while proceeding from his residence in Mansfield-terrace, Kentish town, to business, slipped down in Judd-street, Brunswick square, from treading on a slide on the pavement, and fell with such violence on the back of his head that his scull was severely fractured, and INC regret to add that the life of the unfortunate gentleman is considered in danger. The hinds of Northumberland are beginning to form themselves into associations for the purpose of having the servitude by bondage done away. The condition of these persons is represented as most wretched ; their food con sisting, for a great part of the year, of nothing but potatoes, their children in rags, and themselves without a sufficiency of either clothing or bedding. Their ordinary wages aro ninepence a day. A shilling is the highest amount they ever receive. The Countess of Bridgewater, one of the most opu lent, widow ladies in the United Kingdom, dispensed her usual bounties, of roast beef and plum puddings, on Christ. mas-day, to the poor on her estates at Ashridge Castle, Herts. COURT CIRCULAR. A messenger arrived in town yest:rday afternoon, from Dover, with dopatches for Lord Glenelg, Secretary of z.;tate for the Colonial allaitm.mt, from Sir Howard 1.), 4 ;;:q, Lord 1 - 1411 Commissioner of the lonion Islands. also brouOit despatches to the Foreign Office.

THE DEEM The symptoms() f decline betrayed by Defender on Monday were aggravated by the offers made against him yesterday, II to 1, not withstanding a pony was laid out upon him, having gone begging nearly the whole of the afternoon. Dardanelles and Wintenian were a shade less in favour than \when last quoted, and no one re sponded to an offer of 25 to I agat Rare-up. Clifton was backed for fifty pounds at the old price, which was afterwards offered. One Igkt of 1,001) to 30 was laid against i:imbo, but the general offers. against him did not exceed 25 to 1. These were all the changes that resulted from the few engagements made on horses hitherto in the market. The field, however (already unusually strong in number), was increased by the appearance, for the first time, of Caravan (colt out of Wings) and Young Mouse. 8 to 1 agst Colonel Anson's Jerced—take 8i to 1 84 to 1 agst Lord Jersey's Bro. to Bay Middleton—take Qtr to I 11 to 1 agst Mr. .sadler $ Defender—offered 15 to 1 agst Captain Gardner's Phantasima colt—offered 17 to I agst Lord Exete's Dardanelles—offered ' 17 to I agst Air.

On Friday Queen Maria Christina's late Prime Mi nister, Count de Toreno, had the honour of introducing his Lady to the King and Queen of the French, at the Tuileries. The Duke de Rocca Romana, Commandant of one of his Sicilian Majesty's Regiments of the Guard, died about. a fortnight ago at Naples. Prince Polignac has taken a country residence, ten miles from town, for the recovery of his health. Be has uniformly refused all 13rge dinner and evening parties since his arrival in England. The Duke of Newcastle has renewed his bounty to the poor in the neighbourhood of Clumber Park. The Duke of Newcastle, at - his audit last week at Hafod, made the munificent return of 25 per cent. to his tenants on that estate. It was the Duke of Northumberlaod to whose cha rity the poor of the parish of St. Martin's are indebted for the very seasonable relief distributed on Monday by the Rev. Rector, and not the Duke of Cumberland, as was erro neously stated in all the papers yesterday. An express was received in town yesterday with an account of the sudden demise of the Viscountess Bolingbroke, sister to Lord Ashburton. Lord Dundas has adopted the same old English hospitality at Aske Hall, near Richmond, in Yorkshire, as was practised by his benevolent mother, the Dowager Lady, at that place, for more than a quarter of a century. The Hon. Charles Compton Cavendish and Lady Catherine, arrived at Burlington House, Piccadilly, on Wed nesday last from Latimers. Lord Palmerston is ,gone down to Broadlands, and has invited several persons belonging to the Ministry and to the diplomatic circle to spend the holidays at his seat. The Countess Sebastiani has experienced a severe attack of inflammation of the lungs, but is fast recoyer.ng- His Excellency the Ambassador contemplates leaving Eng land on Sunday. The Earl and Countess de Grey, and Mr. and Lady Mary Vyner, did not arrive in town yesterday from Wrest Park, Bedfordshire. Owing to the state of the roads they have delayed their departure until Monday next. The Duke of Newcastle, the Earl of Southampton, Sir Coutts Trotter, Sir Robert Peel, and ten other gentle men, have been elected members of the St. James's Ornitho logical Society, during the past week. The Committee of Management have placed three Polish swans upon the lake in St. James's Park. They are fine birds—rare in this country. In shape and general appearance the Polish swan closely resembles the wild swan or hooper. The bill which, in the common swan, is red, is, in the Polish, white or flesh coloured ; its legs are gray instead of black, and its cygnet is white instead of grey. This last characteristic is pecul►ar to the Polish swan ; every ether species of which the adult bird is white being in the cygnet invariably grey. THE FUNDS.--CLOSLNG PRICES. FUNDS.
